Steve Dillard of Southern Appeal and Confirm Them has gone out on a limb and made a prediction as to who George Bush will nominate to the Supreme Court.
THE L.A. TIMES THINKS HE’S WRONG.
But in Feddie’s favor, he was right when–just prior to the beginning of the Miers debacle–he predicted that Bush would choose badly.
Now he thinks the replacement choice for Miers may be stellar.
I hope he’s right.
We’ll probably know Monday.
SO WHO’S FEDDIE’S PICK FOR THE NEXT NOMINEE?
Author: Jimmy Akin
Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

I hope he’s right, too. In light of the recent passing of Rosa Parks, this would be a brilliant move and it would be insane for the Left to oppose her.
I’d like to see Ted Kennedy’s face on the day he begins to live in Janice Rogers Brown’s America.
I wonder if Teddy boy will revisit his Bork statements for Mrs. Brown. I can see it now:
“Janice Rogers Brown’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back alley
abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids” etc., etc.
This just in. The nominee is Alita. Still seems pretty solid.
Guess Feddy was wrong. It’s Sam Alito.
I heard he has the nickname of Sc-alito.
That can’t be bad.
It still bugs me that the MSM are trying to paint it as if the Religious Right derailed Miers. That is exactly opposite of the truth. Many Evangelicals bought into the Miers nomination (which W was counting on) and they were upset that she was being criticized at all.
On the whole it was conservative intellectuals who doubted Miers, not the Religious Right. It was obvious that she lacked the experience in constitutional law that should be expected in a Supreme Court justice. She was, as SC picks go, a shocking lightweight.
Bush hoped she would be an innocuous nominee that he could get past conservatives with a “nudge-nudge, wink-wink”.
What was he thinking?
